CS5 Freezing Using Lion (beach ball of death) illustrator CS5

Hello anytime I touch my swatch panel option tag (corner of swatch panel) Illustrator CS5 freezes! I am using Lion Mac OS. Any thoughts

Do you still have the original installer dvd's? If so run Apple Hardware Test. Also since you recently added more memory also run Rember (a GUI layer on top or memtest). I wouldn't trust TechTool for reliable memory tests.
The only software I've added (on Monday and the problem started Monday) was a Seagate Diagnostic program to test some external USB Seagate GoFlex archive drives-- these are not always connected or mounted to the Mac Pro. When I started experiencing problems-- and it crashed or hung several times on Monday-- I trashed the Seagate Diagnostic program.
Hmm, coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
If the Seagate Diagnostic program was the one I found here you probably did not remove all of it. Specifically the kext's it installs.
/System/Library/Extensions/MaxtorPowSecDriver.kext
/System/Library/Extensions/SeagatePowSecDriver.kext
If they are there move them to the trash (proably need your admin password to allow it) and reboot.
If the Seagate Diagnostic program is not the one I found. The do the following in terminal and post the results:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } '

Photoshop CS5 Freezes for few seconds on Long Press on Tools.

Hi,
I am experienceing this issue on Macbook Pro Core2Duo and Macbook Air 13", bought 3 days ago.
When I long press any tool in toolbox to expand it, photoshop CS5 freezes for few seconds.
Any idea?
PS: I have tried both CS5 and CS5.1 on OSX Lion 10.7.2.

Hi Guys,
I found the solution on Adobe's forums. Thanks to the adobe guys.
I have a program "RightZoom" installed. Needed to upgrade that to the latest "Lion Compatible" version.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 is not working with Lion.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 is not working with Lion. It is totally non responsive to a point where i cannot work. all other CS5 programs seem to be running well so far. any advice? if no, then how do i revert back to Snow leopard?

I had real problems with all Adobe apps - it said I needed to install a version of Jave Runtime, but kept saying that I wasn't connected to the internet to complete the action. This was not the case - I was connected to the internet.
I followed this link : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421 to install a version of Java and all Adobe apps fire up now. Haven't done much testing within the apps, but at least I'm further ahead than I was.
So thanks to the message boards for helping me out.

Illustrator cs5 selecting issue in mountain lion

I'm having a strange issue using illustrator cs5 after updating to mountain lion. I have a line of text that I rotated and copied several times so it resembles an asterisc shape * (3 lines of type fanned out over a central point). When I select 1 line of type, 2 or more lines are selecting. It happens even if I try to click in an empty area of the file (white space). The kicker is that it even happens in outline view (even in the white space). Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Not sure what is happening, but a workaround might be to put each line of type on its own layer, then lock and/or hide layers you don't want to select.

Bridge CS5 freezes when using 'reveal in explorer'

Bridge CS5 freezes when you select a file and try to "reveal in explorer". The command does work, it does reveal the file in explorer but then the bridge window turns white and freezes. It usually doesn't happen in the first time you click 'reveal in explorer', but if you do it enough (3x or more) bridge will freeze eventually.
I'm going back to Bridge CS4.
*I'm using Bridge CS5 on windows 7 Professional 64 bit

This sounds like a memory thing. Check the spare space on the HD (it should never be more than 75% full), defrag the harddrive, clean out your trash bin,check to see if you paging file is installed, and your RAM is working properly.

Leo,
You may try the list (5) being less likely).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Indesign CS5 freezing

Help!
I have a intel core imac with 4GB of ram and plenty of hard drive space, and I just upgraded my operating system to 10.6.4. At the same time I also installed CS5 standard suite on the computer as my company is making the switch from quark to indesign for its publication design. Anyways, I can run photoshop and illustrator with no problems - InDesign however refuses to let me work on any document. I can open the application, specify that I want a new document and within seconds of opening a document InDesign will freeze. Before opening the document I can open the various menu bar options and change default fonts or preferences but once I open a document it freezes. I've spent an entire day trying to fix this by reading various posts and can tell you that I've done the following:
• Deleted and restored all the preferences.
• Changed the default font option.
• Uninstalled and reinstalled.
• Checked permissions and added myself (as recommended) with read and write permissions.
This is also a mutli-volume serial number upgrade with plans that I should be doing this upgrade to all the computers in our department. I can't afford to try this on another computer and see if it magically works for them and not for me. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm having a similar issue... Indesign CS5 freezing when I click to open any file.
However, I'm not on Snow Leopard. I'm still on Leopard.
My machine is a MacBook Pro 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, OSX 10.5.8, with 8 GB RAM. 500 GB HD with over 100 GB available.
I placed a post this morning describing my problem in detail but have received no response.
Have you found a solution? If so, please post. I've run out of ideas and don't know what my next step should be.
Thanks!

Fireworks CS5 wont start up in lion (error in preferences folder)

Ok, after 10 days with out FW CS5 on my new Lion installment. I finally cracked some kind of bug where FW would freeze just after loading and the last text in the CS5 logo was tabs and then the processor would go up to around 81% and just freeze.
Apple and Adobe, both blame each other and none could give an answer, but to re-install everything, which i just had done. (Man the big dudes are lost sometimes!)
"My" problem turned, that I seemlessly had a corrupt file in my ~/Library/Preferences/
But i couldnt figure out which one it was.
I ran a Terminal plutil -s *.plist and no errors showed up.
The solution turned out to be:
Deleted the entire macromedia folder in the ~/Library/Preferences/ folder and now its working.
macromedia is the name of the old FW creators before Adobe took over.
So i am guessing there is some kind of error, but who can tell. I cant, adobe cant and apple cant.
Well hope this helps somebody!

Hi Folks!
Its because the macromedia folder is recreated each time flash is used somehow.
I made an Automator App that
1) Locates the ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia
2) Moves the Macromedia Folder to the Trash
3) Runs Adobe Fireworks CS 4
So all I need to do is click this Automator App instead of the Fireworks App in my Dock, and then I am sure it will start.
(I Know that this is not a 100% cool in the end fix, but seems like Adobe are ignoring this error after several of attempts of direct action to tell them.)
Here is how to build your own automator app that does these three steps for you.
My finder is in danish, but I translated it in red text for you. Guess its easy to figure out:
Remember!!! If you are running Adobe Fireworks CS5 then choose that in step 3 instead :-)

Premeire CS5 Freezes on save when using Elgato HD videos

First off, I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 on a 2009 21" iMac running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.5) with a 3.06 ghz core 2 duo and 12 gigs of ram.
I keep having the program freeze whenever I save a video from my Elgato Game Capture HD. The save bar fills in, but it will sit and the program will not respond, doing the error sound when I click anything. I have to force quite each time, luckily it as far as every time I have done this, saved properly and nothing was lost, but this is seeming like a huge risk every time and not to mention even if it works, that its just aggravating having to force quite and start up every time I want to save.
Originally it would not even import, but I have tried converting the video through an app called miro video converter and this new problem began. I also found I could convert video straight from the Elgato Program, with the same end result. I also did some tests to trouble shoot if its premiere just freaking out on me (trust me ghost problems are pretty common for me) I tested on an iShowU Recording as well as one from my SD Elgato video Capture (which should as I understand have the same H264 compression) and a video I pulled off YouTube just to see how well that works, and they all save just fine.
Also another note, I tried deleting the video from the project and saving as one of the tests and the program still froze without the elgato video even being in the project any more. It seems like once I put an Elgato HD video in the program at all it wont save properly.
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

The elgato record at 59.97 (I think) I know its the one near 60 frames, and as far as I can tell their is no way to reduce that. In my test the iShowU video had an FPS of 12. I'm not sure if the way it handles lower to higher FPS would cause the problem, but I have had varied frame rates in the past, but the only one that I have that can go over 30 right now is the elgato HD

Adobe Photoshop CS5 won't install in Lion

I am trying to install (from disk) Adobe CS5 Design Premium on an iMac running OSX Lion.
The 'install' package is grayed out and, when clicked, gives the message 'You can't open the application Install because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.'
CS5 is NOT a PowerPC application; it should be able to run under OSX 10.7.
Does anyone have any idea why Lion is registering the installer as a PowerPC application?

I've not had any issues installing any CS5 apps on Lion. You may find Adobe specific information on their forums at http://forums.adobe.com.
Good luck with your installation. I've read a lot of negative comments about Adobe apps and Lion but I've not had a single problem.
